  • The Naming of Gaming
    The Naming of Gaming Pauliina Raento Academy of Finland and William A. Douglass University of Nevada, Reno The naming of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an essential ingredient in the design of the city's entertainment landscape. More than 300 names have been used in the naming of gaming in Las Vegas since 1955. They occur in seven dominant patterns: 1) luck and good fortune, 2) wealth and opulence, 3) action, adventure, excitement and fantasy, 4) geography, 5) a certain moment, era, or season, 6) intimacy and informal- ity, and 7) "power words" commonly used in the naming of businesses. The categories are described and analyzed from the perspective of the evolution of Las Vegas. Regional variations between the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and suburban Las Vegas are also discussed. The names provide a powerful means of evoking senses of place, images, and identities for the casinos. They underscore the interpretative subjectivity and plurality of the relationship between people and commercial urban environments. Introduction We name people, things, and places to distinguish them from one another and to give them character. Often the names are commemorative and draw upon features (usually positive) of individuals and places. Buildings, streets and towns are named after other familiar places, historical events, and distinguished persons who have played a notable role in the shared past. As an example of the latter, over one quarter of the roughly 3,000 counties in the United States are named patriotically, most often commemorating a political figure (Zelinsky 1983, 6). Names of streets and buildings in capital cities and other centers of importance have special prestige.

WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (“The Meadows” in Spanish) was founded as a city on May 15, 1905. At that time, Las Vegas was only 19.18 square miles and had a population of approximately 800. The Las Vegas Valley has been named as the fastest growing area in the United States. The good climate, the economy, the job opportunities and the many amenities offered are some of the factors prompting our growth. Las Vegas is the largest metropolitan city in the United States that was founded in 20th century. Approximately 98% of Nevada is owned by the federal Government And the growth continues still. The latest population prediction in the Las Vegas valley is over 2 million people by 2008. As the valley runs out of commutable housing space, high rise condominiums dot the master plans for the Las Vegas of tomorrow.

  • Las Vegas Area Optimization, Final Environmental Assessment
    Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Organization IV. Affected Environment This chapter of the EA provides a description of the relevant baseline human, physical, and natural environment conditions that could potentially be affected by the Proposed Action. Specifically, the EA considers effects on the environmental resource categories identified in FAA Order 1050.1E.1 The environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and the No Action alternative are presented in Chapter V, Environmental Consequences. 4.1 Generalized Study Area For the purposes of describing the existing conditions in the area of the Proposed Action and the No Action alternative, the FAA developed a generalized study area (GSA) following the methodology described below and based on FAA’s prior environmental experience with similar actions. The extent of the GSA allows for a reasonable evaluation of potential impacts associated with the aircraft flight path changes considered under the Proposed Action. Two overall objectives guided the development of the GSA: • FAA Order 1050.1E, Appendix A, Paragraph 14.5e requires consideration of impacts of airspace actions from the ground up to 10,000 feet AGL if the study area is larger than the immediate vicinity of the airport or involves more than one airport.2 Aircraft flight path elevations were identified for both the No Action alternative (based upon existing flight activity) and the Proposed Action (based upon routes defined in the airspace redesign). For this analysis, the GSA was designed to capture all flight paths identified in the radar data and Proposed Action design up to the point at which 95 percent of aircraft operating along these paths are above 10,000 feet AGL.
